[patch] Assert when 'break' with no arguments


Hello,

An issue exists where if 'break' command is issued while on a line that underwent inlining by the compiler gdb asserts with

Assertion `sal.pspace != NULL'

I narrowed down the issue to frame.c:find_frame_sal, combined with stack.c:set_last_displayed_sal and in the view of print_frame_info.

The fix proposed here would be to properly initialize 'sal' in find_frmae_sal. Additional check is performed in set_last_displayed_sal to make sure we do not set last_displayed_* vars and validate them if pspace is NULL as, clearly, the rest of the code expects it to be properly set.

I identified the same issue in 7.2, 7.3.1, 7.4 and HEAD. I have not checked earlier versions.

Test suite did not show regressions, and new test passes where it would fail without the patch.


ChangeLog: 2012-02-14 Aleksandar Ristovski <aristovski@qnx.com>

* frame.c (find_frame_sal): Initialise sal->pspace field from frame data.
* stack.c (set_last_displayed_sal): Perform sanity check of the data
passed in, in particular, validate that PSPACE is not NULL if requesting
valid last_displayed_* data.



Test suite ChangeLOg: 2012-02-14 Aleksandar Ristovski <aristovski@qnx.com>

    * gdb.base/break-inline.exp: New test.
    * gdb.base/break-inline.c: New test.


Attached are patch for the fix and tests.




Thank you,
